Data available on Australian government website with various CC licenses

Data such as the one linked below is available and i was wondering if it would be a good idea to upload it after permission is received and whatnot.
thanks.

Building Footprints – Greater Shepparton | Datasets | data.gov.au - beta

It would, but by my understanding, data.gov.au is just consolidating info from lots of other sites, so we would, in this case, need permission & a waiver from Shepparton City Council, not the data site.

However, please feel free to contact SCC for permission! :+1:

Just to add to @Fizzie41 reply, also have a read of Import/Getting permission - OpenStreetMap Wiki

This particular dataset only contains a small portion of all buildings within the LGA, likely only those owned and/or maintained by the council. Some are already mapped. So overall I don’t think it’s worth the effort here.

In general I’m supportive of importing building footprints where

  1. we have acceptable licensing,
  2. the local community is on board
  3. there is an appropriate process to,
    a) prepare the data
    b) quality check the data
    c) ensure it is of sufficient quality
    d) duplicate data is not added
